The trope is when a creator starts out doing erotica, moves into more mainstream work, but reuses the same character designs or whatever, right? And is probably trying to distance themselves from the original material? Because half the entries under western comics just seem to be "This guy used to (or still does) draw porn!" without the repurposed characters element.

Chrysler Corporation LLC, which sold rebadged Mitsubishi vehicles between 1988 and 1995, in the United States, Canada and the Northern Mariana Islands, no less! It wasn't until the introduction of the "cloud cars" (Chrysler Cirrus, Dodge Stratus, Plymouth Breeze) that things got better for them.

I removed the Jay Naylor example because it sounds like he's not really trying to distance himself or his current projects from the porn stuff he's done. He might be a better fit for one of the other h-tropes.
